hood may be removed by removing the hair pin cotter
securing the hood to the pivot brackets.
1. Start the machine and lower the mower deck to the
lowest height of cut. Position the machine on a level
surface so the mower deck frame can be rolled away
and replaced with the winter frame.
2. Move the seat to the fully forward position. Release
the seat latch and tip the seat forward.
3. Remove the 6 screws securing the rear panel to the
frame and remove the rear panel (Figure 3).

all grease and/or oil is removed from the panel to
assure proper adhesion.
5. Remove the backing and affix the self-adhesive heat
shield material to the engine side of the rear panel,
positioning as shown in Figure 4. Do not re-install
the panel at this time.
Note:
The heat shield material must be affixed so
that the rear panel can be reinstalled to the frame
without pinching the heat shield material.
